For starters learn how to interface with Xorg
Joseph Lee
Awesomewm uses lua...
Yeah id start with that this is one of the harder things
Kayden Cook
what should i search, how to make an interface with xorg or what?
Aiden King
i should learn lua?
Hudson Mitchell
Yep go over this doc right here
awesomewm.org
Angel Collins
Download one written in python and read the source code
Robert Green
Poster is an idiot.
Just learn Wayland and use wlroots. No need to learn legacy stuff.
Also, someone has written an entire Wayland WM in Python 3 before, but I forgot what it was called...
Landon Mitchell
this.
Xorg is legacy code.
So, except if you want your system to run on legacy, aim directly for Wayland.
Start by learning about Wayalnd (en.wikipedia.org
Have also a look at Wayland's interfaces (wayland-book.com

no nvidia support
Easton Gomez
Well, code it then.
If even obscure GU like Vivante have Etnaviv or Nouveau, why in hell nvidia wouldn't have at least ultra basic support?
Grayson Lee
>with Python
pytoddlers BTFO'd yet again
Bentley Adams
dont listen to him bro ive used awesome for about a year and i got sick of how shit it performs
lua is not a good language to make systems level software, awesome has performance rivaling that of gnome, with the same memory usage and i dont know how.
Luke Moore
>Well, code it then.
just werks on xorg

I'd recommend learning some basic C (its easy), checking out dwm, and learning how to extend it yourself:
youtu.be
github.com
I'd also *highly* recommend reading the source code of tinywm, it has a python implementation as well as a C implementation:
warning though, X documentation is god awful, so be prepared :) gl op
Angel Young
the basics of X11:
xcb.freedesktop.org
xcb.freedesktop.org
x.org
specifications.freedesktop.org
for pythons you'll need xcb/xlib bindings.
Check out also the code of sowm to get some ideas of how a barebone wm works:

this, i used awesome for a while but somehow it manages to be so bloated even when you try to set it up minimally

>window manager
why would you need this? just hire Juarez

no

all i know is nvidia doesn't work on wayland while i've never had issues with it on xorg
cry about it, maybe in another 20 years sister!
Ian Jenkins

waytard, there's a reason why there's a gorillon window manager, diy toolkits and even bare X programs and not in wayland.

Ryan Myers
with PYTHON
jfc stop right there
learn what python is for and what its limitations are. Do you want to be running your entire WM through an interpreter? Python is great for some things but primarily C and other fast compiled languages should be used for applications. Python is a great *scripting* language.
Joshua Bailey
It still supports Nouveau.
>Buying Nvidia, btw
William Sanchez
I would write the wm with this
nim-lang.org
Tyler Morales
nvidia a shit
choice isn't bad
a gorillon shitty window managers, shitty diy toolkits and shitty bare X programs are bad tho
